Bearish
Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-0.73% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -52.2%; 3-month momentum negative (-12.1%). Currently 54.1% off its 52-week high. Score: -6/7.
FLO is trading below its 200-day MA ($9.71) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 30.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -52.2% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 68.7%). The current 54.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
